CA ArcServe UDP will replace the main CA ArcServe backup app, CA ArcServe Replication, CA ArcServe Replication and High Availability, CA ArcServe D2D and Central Apps (image-based backup) and CA ArcServe, and bring them under one product with a single management console.

The various components have been bundled together with a single user interface with workflow-oriented data protection management. Automated data protection policy can, for example, trigger a backup and then replicate that backup.

Licensing for CA ArcServe UDP will be on a per-socket or per-terabyte basis.

Phil Maynard, vice-president for worldwide technical sales at CA Technologies, said: “These discrete functions have existed in the market in general, but this is bringing them together like no other supplier does. We’re playing catch-up to some extent, but in many cases our competitors just don’t have things we do, such as HA.”

The move reflects a trend among enterprise backup software suppliers to incorporate more bells and whistles into backup software, and in particular to build in virtual machine data protection alongside physical server backup.
